Earlier, Xu Qi had already started to tease the new phone. Xu Qi stated: “The little whirlwind has passed, and a stronger hurricane is coming!” At the same time, he mentioned, “I will be at the May event, but this time I don’t need to work out because…” Now we know that it’s because Xu Qi will appear in the form of a digital human at this event.

Although this is the smartphone industry’s first AI digital human launch event, it’s not the first time a prominent figure has appeared in digital form. Previously, JD.com’s founder, chairman, and CEO, Liu Qiangdong, had conducted a live broadcast in the form of a digital human. This innovative move immediately became the focus of attention. If Xu Qi’s performance as a digital human is well received this time, it’s possible that more smartphone manufacturers will follow suit in the future.
